I want the guy who will be the best at optimizing the talent he's provided through lineups, pitcher usage and instruction. Period. Any other qualities are nice to have, but those can be requirements of the bench coach if the manager doesn't have it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand One of the pluses of hiring a Bochy type is they have the connections to attract top coaches and the reputation to demand the right to hire most of his coaches. I like Jirschele a lot, but he wouldn't have the pull to demand much of anything. Bochy as manager with Jirschele as bench coach would make a lot of sense.
